It’s nice to be able to go to the gym whenever I want. They also have classes that are free to members…. and a pool!! I love it. I have friends that feel too self-conscious about their bodies to join a gym, but believe me.. No matter how much you weigh, how old you are, etc etc, there are people JUST LIKE YOU there. In my gym, there are people with disabilities, skinny people, me (280 lbs) and even people who I’m guestimating weigh around 500 lbs (I do actually know what this looks like). So, honestly, try it. It’s not a huge deal. People are so busy focusing on their workout, their music, or watching tv (my gym has tv’s!!) that they honestly won’t pay any attention to how many stretch marks may or may not be on your thighs. For real.

so.. I did it :)
2 years ago
I started writing spoken word poetry in October, and by the end of the month, I was performing at local coffee shops and art galleries around town. I had a friend encourage me to get up and read as much as possible, and I can say it has been really fun.. and rewarding in the sense that it pushed me way out of my comfort zone…and now my comfort zone has adapted :) I got to be a feature poet at an art gallery and this summer I may be going on a month-long tour of Europe with a group of hip hop artists. It’s crazy how doors open up for you when you push yourself to try something new!
